Very Filthy Engine Bay......

How many UA-cam commenters does it take to screw in a lightbulb? About 10, apparently! With each attempt, and subsequent consultation of the comments, I learned more and more,until finally I found the wires that were in the way, and turned it clockwise, having sorted out a weird problem I’d had forever about “clockwise from which direction, facing it or from your hand’s perspective “, and it clicked into place!

Thanks. here they asked €80 for the lamp and €180 to replace it. I bought the lamp for €5 on Amazon and did it myself in 10 minutes.

Dang! When I was trying to wrangle the new bulb/holder back in to the assembly the bulb fell out of the holder and down beneath the light - disappeared completely out of reach. To get at it I would have to literally remove the grill, fender, and head light assembly. I chose to just buy another new bulb. To avoid this problem, stuff a rag down below the assembly so if the bulb pops out it won't fall down into the void.

Thanks!

Your video is a good visualization for the installation of the new bulbs, but you make it look a little easier than the task actually is.. It helps having small hands for certain

This is a GREAT video. There are other videos that seem to make you think you have to take the whole headlight assembly, which is VERY involved. So glad I saw your video. Thanks!

Omg thank you so much!! The tip about not putting it in all the way just ended my hours of frustration!!

its h7 and h4 ?

Hello every one..!! I've just made my own tool for that job..!! You need a piece of wood/plastic round/Square aprx Ø 30 mm and aprx 40-45 mm long.. Mill/ saw a grove aprx 10 mm deep 3 mm wide press it in over the bulb holder "finn" and you have perfect control to take it out and put it back again.. !! You are welcome..!! 😊👍

Great video. You're gorgeous. If anyone uses an off label light like I did(I "upgraded to a super bright led version) you may find it won't go back into the light case and twist in bc the off brand on that I got takes extra effort to plug into the socket/plug in part without kind of... Widening the... There's two clips that you don't notice unless you're having trouble, but one side will go in and almost flush like it's supposed to, but the opposite side you'll have to help it go under better... Only THEN will you bee able to put it back into the headlight area and twist it into it's secure little home. I thought my hands were just numb or I was doing it wrong. It was so frustrating since you can't see from behind how is supposed to go in. Hope this helps. A little disclaimer: My off brand ones seem to be working but I really don't know if they will cause any issues I'm the system. The actual bulbs mine are supposed to have are so dull and I couldn't stand it. Now I can see a mouse's ass, if one was in the road in front of me...I couldn't see an moose's ass before that😅😊

Thanks man. Saved me from paying a mechanic $50. The driver side was tougher than the passenger side. But overall was easy.

I can get the plastic lined up and its sits in, but it wont turn counter clockwise to snap back into place. Help me

That’s definitely not easy because you have to have the skinniest hand on earth

thanks brother! replaced both low-beams in under 5 minutes. couple of years ago it was recommended to go through the wheel well. this was so much easier.

Like you, I can usually figure it out but like you, I like to check UA-cam first. Just to see if there’s a sure easy way. Glad you posted yours!

Just got my car back from the dealership and now the headlight doesn't work because of whatever they did. Not sure if I need to take it back to the dealership to get the bulb done cuz it looks so different in my other car. Thanks for your video!

helped a lot! thank youuuuu!

Rainx is $11 at Walmart

I love mine too. Vw the best.

Thank you, I have changed my light bulb but had hard time screwing it back to its place

You did not show how Long it took you to Get the bulb out or back in

Thank you I did it 😊

Never touch the bulbs with your fingers. Use latex/non latex gloves

Clear and simple Thanks

Very helpful. When I tried to do this there was a wire partially covering the area where you screw the headlight in, so I suggest taking a photo from inside the engine bay looking out the headlight to get a better perspective

Thank you so much for this video

What up bud ! Thanks for the video ! I think im missing something cuz its work when i put pression on it but when i took my hand out its not working😢

Very helpful instruction thank you! And you are absolutely correct about the reinstall. Putting in the new bulb back in the housing requires feel (finesse), not strength.

Great video made it a 2 minute job for me. Although my hand was refusing to fit in the hole and I almost dropped it into the engine but it just managed to stay put. 👍

Does this work with Xenons ?

Thanks for a great instruction video.! first did´n thout i could make this work. but in the end i fix it. becourse of this wonderful video thanks agin.

I can’t get mine to clip on!! I’m not sure why?

It's horrible to put it back. Unbelievable

Have some class ffs. That looks cheap and nasty 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Ну ну, только вот руками трогать такую лампу совсем не желательно 😅

You should had a plastic wedge tool keep any damage of your badge.

But what bulb I it H7?

Thank you!!! I’m a 58 year old Mom and you showed me how to do it. Took me 15 min just maneuvering the new bulb in. It is a little tough to know if your plastic holder is in the right place but here’s a TIP: When you first take out the old bulb, notice how the plastic holder is oriented as you pull it out then try to hold it the same way going in. Then twist clockwise just a bit till it stops. Having small hands helps. The rubber caps go back on easily. Thanks for the help.

Thank you so much for the video and to everyone who's left comments! Canadian 2016 VW golf driver's side bulb - got the bulb out relatively easily but no luck getting it back in. Tried going from the inside a million times and the bulb kept falling off. Finally jacked the driver's side tire to allow space, then removed enough screws off the wheel liner to get access and saw there was a wire in the way. From the tire side it took about 30 seconds to replace.

I always go deep

Thanks! Just did mine in my mk7.5 the rubber covers are a different shape, but otherwise this was the same. Had a bit of trouble getting them back in. Got my bulbs from Nappa for 10 CAD ea

Mine wont come out. Ive twisted it 90° but its just not pulling out

Bro this was super creative. Thanks for sharing!! I’ll definitely consider doing this in the future!!

You would have to have wee little Donald Trump hands to do this. Most people will be removing the wheel and peeling back the cover for direct access.

what an effin pain!!! 😝🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ bulb keeps fallin off the base, the diagonal needs to be used a reference but holy hell, $80 seems like an ok deal, half way into this mess, between the damn key fob n this, u can take ur EV’s n shove em. but hey thanks for the vid. put this off for a long time since high beam still worked n other vids showed half the front end tore apart 🤔😬

Thank you SO much. You're the only video I could find. Clear directions too.

What a garbage vid. You don’t show us the orientation of how it goes back in.

If you’re really struggling to make your hand fit, you can remove three of the screws from the wheel well with the tire cut hard to the right (or left depending on which side you’re replacing) and peel the lining back. You can get a better angle/visualization from there.

If you're looking to buy a wiper, it's 14 inches long. Thanks for watching 😎
